Notes[]
- The stat reduction that can be applied during combat by Pulse Smog is considered a temporary debuff.
- The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect.
- For example, if a unit is affected by both
Guard and Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
- For example, if a unit is affected by both

- Skills such as Tempo Echo and Arcane Þrima will neutralize effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
- Pulse Smog's Special cooldown count increase that occurs during combat is a flat +1 and is not affected by effects related to Special cooldown charge such as Guard, Special Cooldown Charge +1, and Tempo Echo.
- All flat cooldown count increases and/or reductions during combat will stack with each other if they trigger at the same time.
- For example, if a unit has Preempt Pulse and Hush Spectrum, the effects will stack and the unit's cooldown count will neither increase nor decrease.
- For example, if a unit has

- Pulse Smog triggers before after combat Specials such as Galeforce and Røkkr AoE Specials.
